Add criteria to Policy

Thank you for the consultation received on the 2nd Deposit Revised Carmarthenshire Local Development Plan 2018 – 2033. The matter was considered by the members of Llanelli Town Council at their meeting last evening where it was agreed to provide the following response:

The Town Council is concerned to have received multiple reports from residents that they have not been made aware of the consultation or have been unable to access the documentation either online or at designated centres in Llanelli. The Town Council would therefore request that the consultation period is extended, and further publicity provided to ensure all residents are aware of the process being undertaken and therefore provided with an opportunity to consider the content of the proposals made.

The Town Council wished to make the following representations:
• Where a large housing development is proposed, can a policy be introduced for the provision of mixed use / commercial unit provision as part of the development
• Can consideration be given to updating the categories included for S106 requirements for a Social Care contribution to be levied as part of agreement consideration
• Where churches/chapels are converted to domestic use, can the affordable housing contributions be waivered where the developer can demonstrate that they will be retaining the heritage/historic character of the building
We trust that these comments can be taken into account as part of your consideration of the matter.
